salt Lake city to be sued.

John Tobin, the Kansas City
man who has been lecturing against
Mormonism, resides at 400 East
Twelfth Street, is about to institute
suit against Salt Lake City for pro-
perty valued at 81 900, 900. Tobin's
claim is based on the following facts:
In 1868 he was Obliged to fly with
the penalty of death hanging over
him should he return. Just before
John d. Lee was executed for the
Mountain Medows massacre, he
confessed that he had been employ
ed by Brigham Young to murder
Tobin. He had, in fact, attacked
his party and killed several, but
only succeeded in wounding Tobin !.
At that time Tobin was oblidged to
fly; from Salt Lake City. He then
owned considerable property in the
city. That property has since in
creased its value until it is now
estimated at being worth over ST.
600 900. Mr.. Tobin will immedia-
tely commence legal proceedings
for the recovery of the property
Besides several eminent lawyers in

engaged. The papers will probably

TAPPING TAHOE.
Senator Boyle still Pushing
His Big Irrigation


The scheme of tapping Lake Ia
hoe and utilizing the splendid water
power for irrigation and manufac-
turtles, has not yet been abandoned.
The failure of the Legislature to
grant a franchise will not effect the
scheme, as San Francisco capital
is determined to push the project.
Senator Boyle says:
ga franchise from the Legislature
would have been a great assistance,
as it would have materially aided
in floating the bonds in Europe.
Any official backing that such a
project has helps it in the East and
Europe.
1.-THE matter is still being can
vassed in San Francisco by wealthy
men who firmly believe in the pro-
ject. By the time that the
next Legislature meets another re-
quest for franchise will be made,
and by that time things will be in
such a shape that no sane man
will refuse his vote for a measure
that will add millions to the tax
able property of Nevada.
"With such splendid water
a vast amount of machinery can be
run at small cost, and thousands of
acres of fine land be made produc-
tive. We propose to push the
scheme and make it win"

AN EXCITING CASE.
J. C. SHARP, MERCHANT. CHAR4FO WITH
HORSE WHIPPING A YOUNG w TIE
GIRL-GREAT INTEkEST MANI
TESTED IN THE
COURT ROOM, &c.

At 4:30 Thursday our Mayor opened
Court to try one of the most exciting
and interesting cases heard for many
years, to wit: State VS. j. G. Sharp
charged with cruelty beating Rachel
Griffin, young white girl of sixteen
who, at the time, was living in the house
of Sharp's Grand mother in EdentOn.
The evidence abundantly sustained the
charge and the Court imposed a fine of
5000 and costs, saying, at the same
tine. that nothing short of imprison-
'nont wOuld ha the pena ty imposed but
for considC rations which should be had
for the enfeeUltd condition OF his Grand
parent, whose heart being diseased.
N IGht not be able TO stand the shock
which the news of such judgement
would bring her.
The court room was filled with spec
tatOrs. interested in the case and eager
to see full Justice meeted unto the man
charged. Such was the intensity of the
feeling that the crowd could not refrain
from applauding. now and then, as
council for the prosecution would warm
up to the Importance of the case in dis
;ussing certain evidence bearing there
Ipon. Had the case been tried III other
and less civilized communities, among
people who had less respect for law, we
honestly believe that cries for lYnchin3
would have been irrepressible. We Say
this not to prejudice any one against
the unfortunate man charged, but sim
ply to show the intensity of the feeling
everyU here manifested and to show
that at least o little Of that mar hood of

squeeze for life. The start was wit.
messed by an immense crowd.
At 5 o'clock the order to let go was
given and this balloon shot upward
rapidly. Fifty feet in the air it crash.
ed into a bunch of telegraph and tele.
phone wires with great force and the
crowd thought the mon were killed,
but the balloon soon tore its way
through and mounting quickly soon
reached an altitude of three thousand
feet. The course of the balloon had
been toward the west, but it suddenly
struck another current which carried
it out toward the open ocean. TO be
taken out to sea meant al mostcertain
death, and the Professor determined
to descend and endeavor to secure TN
anchorage on one of the islands in
Casco Bay, over which they were pass
ing at great speed.
The valve was opened and the bal
loon began to drop. A long drag rope
was thrown out and ,as they neared the
water, it dragged through it, leaving a
boiling wake.
Crossing over Windward Island a
number of men ran toward the drag
rope to try to fasten it, but the speed
OF the balloon was so great that those
who seized the rope were thrown for.
chilly to the ground. Finally turn
was made around rock, which stop
ped the balloon and held it. But it
was only for a moment. The balloon
tugged and jerked furiously and
the rope parted. The released balloon
jumped into the air, but the gas was
kissing out and it fell into the water.
The car was almost completely sub.
merged, and the mon were alternately
under and above the water as the
balloon was carried dancing along by
the wind. The balloon twisted and
swayed, and the car was thrown vic.
lently in every direction. The two
men chung to the sides, fearful that
they would be dashed into an island
They were becoming exhausted, when
the yacht Mermaid ran up close to
them, and, catching line, they were
hauled aboard after some difficulty
The aeronauts were Frustrated, but
recovered rapidly soon after. The
balloon was lost
Prof. Grimby said it had been the
most exciting and dangerous trip he
had ever made.
